Suspender Hyperextension
Description
The suspender hyperextension uses suspension straps with feet anchored to perform a hyperextension movement. By hinging at the hips while keeping the legs locked, you train the lower back, glutes, and hamstrings without a hyperextension bench. The strap setup makes it accessible for home training.
